How about the attached updated patch? Here's the associated ChangeLog entry:

2017-01-24  Thomas Preud'homme  <thomas.preudhomme@arm.com>

        * configure.ac (--enable-mingw-wildcard): Add new configurable feature.
        * configure: Regenerate.
        * config.in: Regenerate.
        * config/i386/driver-mingw32.c: new file.
        * config/i386/x-mingw32: Add rule to build driver-mingw32.o.
        * config.host: Link driver-mingw32.o on MinGW host.
        * doc/install.texi: Document new --enable-mingw-wildcard configure
        option.

Best regards,

Thomas

+The @option{--enable-mingw-wildcard} option enables Microsoft Windows-hosted
+GCC to perform wildcard expansion of its arguments, irregardless of the default
+configuration of MinGW runtime.  Conversely, @option{--disable-mingw-wildcard}
+option disables wildcard expansion. When none of these options is specified,
+wildcard expansion will be decided according to the way the MinGW runtime was
+configured.
+
+Note that this option only affects wildcard expansion for GCC itself.  It does
+not affect wildcard expansion of executables built by the resulting GCC.
